NOTE 1- BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation were included. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. Certain items in prior periods were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries (the Corporation) for the year ended December 31, 2024 (2024 Annual Report).
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (ASU 2023-09). ASU 2023-09 requires additional annual disclosures including further disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation, additional information for reconciling items meeting a quantitative threshold, further disaggregation of income taxes paid and other required disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Corporation in the annual period beginning on January 1, 2025 and applied on a prospective basis with both early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The impact of ASU 2023-09 is not expected to be material to the Corporation’s income tax disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (ASU 2024-03). ASU 2024-03 requires additional interim and annual disclosures that further disaggregate certain expense captions into specified categories in a separate note to the financial statements, as well as certain qualitative information describing amounts not separately disaggregated. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Corporation in the annual period beginning on January 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2028 and can be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Corporation is evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 to its disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (ASU 2025-06). ASU 2025-06 amends accounting for software costs by removing consideration of project development stages. Costs will be capitalized when management, with the relevant authority, implicitly or explicitly authorizes and commits to funding a computer software project and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Corporation beginning on January 1, 2028 and can be applied using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation is evaluating the impact of adoption.
NOTE 2-FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Corporation utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The determination of fair values of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. In cases where quoted market values in an active market are not available, the Corporation uses present value techniques and other valuation methods to estimate the fair values of its financial instruments. These valuation methods require considerable judgment and the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly affected by the assumptions made and methods used.
Investment securities available-for-sale, derivatives, deferred compensation plans and equity securities with readily determinable fair values (primarily money market mutual funds) are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Corporation may be required to record other assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans, loans held for sale, other real estate (primarily foreclosed property), nonmarketable equity securities and certain other assets and liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve write-downs of individual assets or application of lower of cost or fair value accounting.
Refer to Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Corporation’s 2024 Annual Report for further information about the fair value hierarchy, descriptions of the valuation methodologies and key inputs used to measure financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, as well as a description of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value disclosures for financial instruments not recorded at fair value in their entirety on a recurring basis.

Level 3 assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 included loans with a specific allowance and certain bank property held for sale, both measured based on the fair value of collateral. The unobservable inputs were the additional adjustments applied by management to the appraised values to reflect such factors as non-current appraisals and revisions to estimated time to sell. These adjustments are determined based on qualitative judgments made by management on a case-by-case basis and are not observable inputs, although they are used in the determination of fair value. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, loans held-for-sale classified as Level 3 represented loans held-for-sale in less liquid markets requiring significant management assumptions when determining fair value.

Estimated Fair Values of Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Corporation typically holds the majority of its financial instruments until maturity and thus does not expect to realize many of the estimated fair value amounts disclosed. The disclosures do not include estimated fair value amounts for items that are not defined as financial instruments, but which have significant value. These include such items as core deposit intangibles, the future earnings potential of significant customer relationships and the value of trust operations and other fee generating businesses. The Corporation believes the imprecision of an estimate could be significant. The disclosures also do not include a limited amount of nonmarketable equity securities (primarily indirect private equity and venture capital investments) that do not have a readily determinable fair value and whose fair values are based on net asset value.
The carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value in their entirety on a recurring basis on the Corporation’s Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows:

| (a) | Issued and/or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. |
Unrealized losses on investment securities resulted from changes in market interest rates. The Corporation’s portfolio is comprised of securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored enterprises. As such, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investments. Further, the Corporation does not intend to sell the investments, and it is not more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell the investments before recovery of amortized costs. No allowance for credit losses was recorded on securities in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
Interest receivable on investment securities totaled $37 million at September 30, 2025 and $38 million at December 31, 2024 and was included in accrued income and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The investment securities portfolio included floating-rate securities with a fair value of $2 million and $3 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
There were no sales, calls or write-downs of investment securities available-for-sale during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 or September 30, 2024.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair values of investment securities by contractual maturity. Securities with multiple maturity dates are classified in the period of final maturity. The actual cash flows of mortgage-backed securities may differ as borrowers of the underlying loans may exercise prepayment options. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

| (a) | Includes all loans not included in the categories of special mention, substandard or nonaccrual. |
Criticized loans includes loans with an internal rating of special mention, substandard loans for which the accrual of interest has not been discontinued and nonaccrual loans. Special mention loans have potential credit weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention, such as loans to borrowers who may be experiencing financial difficulties that may result in deterioration of repayment prospects from the borrower at some future date. Accruing substandard loans have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, such as loans to borrowers who may be experiencing losses from operations or inadequate liquidity of a degree and duration that jeopardizes the orderly repayment of the loan. Substandard loans are also distinguished by the distinct possibility of loss in the future if these weaknesses are not corrected. Nonaccrual loans are loans for which the accrual

of interest has been discontinued. For further information regarding nonaccrual loans, refer to the Nonperforming Assets subheading in Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies on page F-52 in the Corporation’s 2024 Annual Report. These categories are generally consistent with the “special mention” and “substandard” categories as defined by regulatory authorities. A minority of nonaccrual loans are consistent with the “doubtful” category.
Loan interest receivable totaled $257 million and $266 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and was included in accrued income and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On an ongoing basis, the Corporation monitors the performance of modified loans related to their restructured terms. Of the loans restructured in the previous twelve months, $21 million of business loans and $1 million of retail loans were past due under modified terms at September 30, 2025, compared to $30 million of business loans and $1 million of retail loans at September 30, 2024. Nonperforming restructured loans are classified as nonaccrual loans and are individually evaluated for the allowance for loan losses.
For modified loans, a subsequent payment default is defined in terms of delinquency, when a principal or interest payment is 90 days past due or classified into nonaccrual status during the reporting period. Of loans defaulted within twelve months of being modified, $18 million subsequently defaulted during each of the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, compared to none for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The annual test of goodwill impairment was performed as of the beginning of third quarter 2025. The Corporation first assessed qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Qualitative factors included economic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance and performance of the Corporation’s common stock, among other events and circumstances. At the conclusion of the qualitative assessment in third quarter 2025, the Corporation determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value.
Analyzing goodwill includes consideration of various factors that involve a degree of uncertainty, including the impacts of monetary policy actions, foreign developments and unanticipated legislative or regulatory changes, among other factors, that could cause the fair value of one or more of the reporting units to fall below their carrying value, resulting in a goodwill impairment charge in the future. Any impairment charge would not affect the Corporation’s regulatory capital ratios, tangible equity ratio or liquidity position.
NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVES AND CREDIT-RELATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into various transactions involving derivative and credit-related financial instruments to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rate, foreign currency and other market risks and to meet the financing needs of customers (customer-initiated derivatives). These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of market and credit risk. Market and credit risk are included in the determination of fair value.
Market risk is the potential loss that may result from movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or energy commodity prices that cause an unfavorable change in the value of a financial instrument. The Corporation manages this risk by establishing monetary exposure limits and monitoring compliance with those limits. Market risk inherent in interest rate and energy contracts entered into on behalf of customers is mitigated by taking offsetting positions, except in those circumstances when the amount, tenor and/or contract rate level results in negligible economic risk, whereby the cost of purchasing an offsetting contract is not economically justifiable. The Corporation mitigates most of the inherent market risk in foreign exchange contracts entered into on behalf of customers by taking offsetting positions and manages the remainder through individual foreign currency position limits and aggregate value-at-risk limits. Position and value-at-risk limits are established annually and monitored daily. Market risk inherent in derivative instruments held or issued for risk management purposes is typically offset by changes in the fair value of the assets or liabilities being hedged.
Credit risk is the possible loss that may occur in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to a financial instrument. The Corporation attempts to minimize credit risk arising from customer-initiated derivatives by evaluating the creditworthiness of each customer, adhering to the same credit approval process used for traditional lending activities and obtaining collateral as deemed necessary. Derivatives with dealer counterparties are either cleared through a clearinghouse or settled directly with a single counterparty. For derivatives settled directly with dealer counterparties, the Corporation utilizes counterparty risk limits and monitoring procedures as well as master netting arrangements and bilateral collateral agreements to facilitate the management of credit risk.
Included in the fair value of derivative instruments are credit valuation adjustments reflecting counterparty credit risk. These adjustments are determined by applying a credit spread for the counterparty or the Corporation, as appropriate, to the total expected exposure of the derivative. Master netting arrangements effectively reduce credit valuation adjustments by permitting settlement of positive and negative positions and offset cash collateral held with the same counterparty on a net basis. Bilateral collateral agreements require daily exchange of cash or highly rated securities issued by the U.S. Treasury or other U.S. government entities to collateralize amounts due to either party. At September 30, 2025, counterparties with bilateral collateral agreements deposited $78 million of cash with the Corporation to secure the fair value of contracts in an unrealized gain position, and the Corporation had pledged no marketable investment securities and posted $4 million of cash as collateral for contracts in an unrealized loss position. For those counterparties not covered under bilateral collateral agreements, collateral is obtained, if deemed necessary, based on the results of management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral varies, but may include cash, investment securities, accounts receivable, equipment or real estate.

Derivative Instruments
Derivative instruments utilized by the Corporation are negotiated over-the-counter and primarily include swaps, caps and floors, forward contracts and options, each of which may relate to interest rates, energy commodity prices or foreign currency exchange rates. Swaps are agreements in which two parties periodically exchange cash payments based on specified indices applied to a specified notional amount until a stated maturity. Caps and floors are agreements which entitle the buyer to receive cash payments based on the difference between a specified reference rate or price and an agreed strike rate or price, applied to a specified notional amount until a stated maturity. Forward contracts are over-the-counter agreements to buy or sell an asset at a specified future date and price. Options are similar to forward contracts except the purchaser has the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the asset during a specified period or at a specified future date.
Over-the-counter contracts are tailored to meet the needs of the counterparties involved and, therefore, contain a greater degree of credit risk and liquidity risk than exchange-traded contracts, which have standardized terms and readily available price information. The Corporation reduces exposure to market and liquidity risks from over-the-counter derivative instruments entered into for risk management purposes, as well as transactions entered into to mitigate the market risk associated with customer-initiated transactions, by taking offsetting positions with investment grade domestic and foreign financial institutions and subjecting counterparties to credit approvals, limits and collateral monitoring procedures similar to those used in making other extensions of credit. In addition, certain derivative contracts executed bilaterally with a dealer counterparty in the over-the-counter market are cleared through a clearinghouse, whereby the clearinghouse becomes the counterparty to the transaction.

Risk Management
The Corporation’s derivative instruments used for managing interest rate risk include cash flow hedging strategies that convert variable-rate loans to fixed rates and fair value hedging strategies that convert fixed-rate medium- and long-term debt to variable rates. Interest and fees on loans included net expense from cash flow swaps of $85 million and $178 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $246 million and $522 million of cash flow hedge losses for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Re-designated Interest Rate Swaps and Price Alignment Income
On November 15, 2023, the Bloomberg Index Services Limited (Bloomberg) announced that it would discontinue publishing the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (BSBY) on November 15, 2024; accordingly, the Corporation was required to “de-designate” $7.0 billion of interest rate swaps used in cash flow hedges of certain BSBY-indexed loans and reclassify amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings. A total of $130 million in net losses were included in noninterest income as a result of the de-designations, consisting of $39 million during the first quarter of 2024 and $91 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. For each de-designated swap, settlement of interest payments and changes in fair value were recorded as risk management hedging losses within noninterest income instead of net interest income until re-designation. All impacted swaps were re-designated as of April 1, 2024.
Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income related to cash flows that continued to be probable of occurring were amortized out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into earnings, which resulted in no recorded pre-tax loss in interest and fees on loans for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $52 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Additionally, the fair value of swaps at re-designation date were accreted back into accumulated other comprehensive income, resulting in benefits of $19 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and $43 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
BSBY cessation and the related de-designation and re-designation of interest rate swaps led to a net decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $15 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net increase of $7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
For more information on accumulated net losses on cash flow hedges, refer to Note 10.
Risk management hedging income (loss) also includes price alignment income, which is income received on payments made to a central clearing party for centrally cleared derivatives. Positions are settled daily based on derivative fair values and the party receiving net settlement amounts pays price alignment, based on an earning rate, to the party making settlement payments. Price alignment income totaled $4 million and $8 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $16 million and $38 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Customer-Initiated and Other
The Corporation enters into derivative transactions at the request of customers and generally takes offsetting positions with dealer counterparties to help mitigate the inherent market risk. Income primarily results from the spread between the customer derivative and the offsetting dealer position.
For customer-initiated foreign exchange contracts where offsetting positions have not been taken, the Corporation manages the remaining inherent market risk through individual foreign currency position limits and aggregate value-at-risk limits. These limits are established annually and monitored at least monthly.

The Corporation maintains an allowance to cover current expected credit losses inherent in lending-related commitments, including unused commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and financial guarantees. The allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $39 million and $35 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Unused Commitments to Extend Credit
Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to a customer, provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total contractual amount of commitments does not necessarily represent future cash requirements of the Corporation. Commercial and other unused commitments are primarily variable rate commitments. The allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments included $35 million at September 30, 2025 and $30 million at December 31, 2024 for expected credit losses inherent in the Corporation’s unused commitments to extend credit.
Standby and Commercial Letters of Credit
Standby letters of credit represent conditional obligations of the Corporation, which guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. Commercial letters of credit are issued to finance foreign or domestic trade transactions. These contracts expire in decreasing amounts through the year. The Corporation may enter into participation arrangements with third parties that effectively reduce the maximum amount of future payments that may be required under standby and commercial letters of credit. These risk participations covered $241 million and $223 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, of standby and commercial letters of credit outstanding, which totaled $4.3 billion and $4.2 billion at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The carrying value of the Corporation’s standby and commercial letters of credit, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $30 million at September 30, 2025, including $26 million in deferred fees and $4 million in the allowance for credit losses on lending-related commitments. At December 31, 2024, the comparable amounts were $34 million, $29 million and $5 million, respectively.

Other Credit-Related Financial Instruments
The Corporation enters into credit risk participation agreements, under which the Corporation assumes credit exposure associated with a borrower’s performance related to certain interest rate derivative contracts. The Corporation is not a party to the interest rate derivative contracts and only enters into these credit risk participation agreements in instances in which the Corporation is also a party to the related loan participation agreements for such borrowers. The Corporation manages its credit risk on the credit risk participation agreements by monitoring the creditworthiness of the borrowers, which is based on the normal credit review process as if the Corporation had entered into the derivative instruments directly with the borrower. The notional amount of such credit risk participation agreements reflects the pro-rata share of the derivative instrument, consistent with its share of the related participated loan. The total notional amount of the credit risk participation agreements was approximately $969 million and $1.1 billion at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and the fair value was insignificant at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The maximum estimated exposure to these agreements, as measured by projecting a maximum value of the guaranteed derivative instruments, assuming 100% default by all obligors on the maximum values, was $12 million and $1 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. In the event of default, the lead bank has the ability to liquidate the assets of the borrower, in which case the lead bank would be required to return a percentage of the recouped assets to the participating banks. As of September 30, 2025, the weighted average remaining maturity of outstanding credit risk participation agreements was 5.1 years.
In 2008, the Corporation sold its remaining ownership of Visa Class B shares and entered into a derivative contract. Under the terms of the derivative contract, the Corporation will compensate the counterparty primarily for dilutive adjustments made to the conversion factor of the Visa Class B shares to Class A shares based on the ultimate outcome of litigation involving Visa. Conversely, the Corporation will be compensated by the counterparty for any increase in the conversion factor from anti-dilutive adjustments. The fair value of the derivative liability, included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $10 million and $6 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
NOTE 7 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES (VIEs)
The Corporation evaluates its interest in certain entities to determine if these entities meet the definition of a VIE and whether the Corporation is the primary beneficiary and should consolidate the entity based on the variable interests it held both at inception and when there is a change in circumstances that requires a reconsideration.
The Corporation holds ownership interests in funds in the form of limited partnerships or limited liability companies (LLCs) investing in affordable housing projects that qualify for the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC). The Corporation also directly invests in limited partnerships and LLCs that invest in community development projects, which generate similar tax credits to investors (other tax credit entities). As an investor, the Corporation obtains income tax credits and deductions from the operating losses of these tax credit entities. These tax credit entities meet the definition of a VIE; however, the Corporation is not the primary beneficiary of the entities, as the general partner or the managing member has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entities.
The Corporation accounts for its interests in LIHTC entities and other tax credit entities that meet certain criteria using the proportional amortization method. Ownership interests in tax credit entities that do not qualify for the proportional amortization method are accounted for under either the cost or equity method. Exposure to loss as a result of the Corporation’s involvement in entities using the proportional amortization method and other tax credit entities at September 30, 2025 was limited to $596 million and $1 million, respectively.
Investment balances, including all legally binding commitments to fund future investments that are accounted for using the proportional amortization method, are included in accrued income and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A liability is recognized in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for all legally binding unfunded commitments to fund tax credit entities that are accounted for using the proportional amortization method ($227 million at September 30, 2025). Amortization and other write-downs of tax credit investments for which the proportional amortization method is applied are presented on a net basis as a component of the provision for income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, while amortization and write-downs of other tax credit investments are

recorded in other noninterest income. The income tax credits and deductions are recorded as a reduction of income tax expense and a reduction of federal income taxes payable. The cash flows related to the total income tax benefits are presented in the “net income,” “benefit for deferred income taxes” and “other, net” line items within the operating activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The Corporation provided no financial or other support that was not contractually required to any of the above VIEs during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Fixed interest rates have been swapped to a variable rate and designated in a hedging relationship for all notes outstanding at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Accordingly, carrying value has been adjusted to reflect the change in fair value of the debt as a result of changes in the benchmark rate. Subordinated notes with remaining maturities greater than one year qualify as Tier 2 capital.
Comerica Bank (the Bank), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Comerica Incorporated, is a member of the FHLB, which provides short- and long-term funding to its members through advances collateralized by real estate-related assets. Borrowing capacity is contingent on the amount of collateral available to be pledged to the FHLB. At September 30, 2025, total FHLB borrowings were $3.0 billion, with remaining capacity for future borrowing of $10.3 billion, secured by real estate-related loans totaling $22.0 billion and investment securities totaling $1.8 billion.

NOTE 9 - SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Series A Preferred Stock
In May 2020, the Corporation issued and sold 4,000 shares of 5.625% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (Series A Preferred Stock), without par value, with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, which were represented by depositary shares, each representing a 1/100th ownership interest in a share of Series A Preferred Stock. Holders of the depositary shares were entitled to all proportional rights and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock (including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights). The $400 million issuance yielded $394 million in proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and offering expenses.
On June 10, 2025, the Corporation delivered a notice of redemption notifying the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and corresponding depositary shares that the Corporation would be redeeming all 4,000 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding depositary shares at a redemption price of $1,000 per depositary share (equivalent to $100,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock), effective July 1, 2025. Accordingly, $400 million was reclassified from shareholders’ equity to other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the date of the notice of redemption. The last quarterly dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock were paid on July 1, 2025, to holders of record at the close of business on June 13, 2025.
Series B Preferred Stock
On August 11, 2025, the Corporation issued and sold 400,000 shares of 6.875% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (Series B Preferred Stock), no par value, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, which were represented by depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of Series B Preferred Stock. Holders of the depositary shares are entitled to all proportional rights and preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock (including dividend, voting, redemption and liquidation rights). The $400 million issuance yielded approximately $392 million in proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and offering expenses.

NOTE 13- INCOME TAXES AND TAX-RELATED ITEMS
Unrecognized tax benefits were $8 million at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Corporation anticipates a decrease of $2 million in net unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. Included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets was a liability of $1 million for tax-related interest and penalties at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Net deferred tax assets were $692 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $1.0 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease of approximately $342 million in net deferred tax assets resulted primarily from a decrease to deferred tax assets related to hedging gains and losses, net unrealized losses on investment securities available-for-sale, defined benefit plans and other temporary timing differences. Included in deferred tax assets at September 30, 2025 were $2 million and $10 million of state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and federal foreign tax carryforwards, respectively, compared to $2 million and $9 million of state NOL and federal foreign tax carryforwards, respectively, at December 31, 2024. State net operating loss carryforwards expire between 2025 and 2044, and federal foreign tax credit carryforwards expire between 2029 and 2035. The Corporation believes that it is more likely than not that the benefit from federal foreign tax credits and certain state NOL carryforwards will not be realized and, accordingly, increased its federal valuation allowance to $10 million and retained its state valuation allowance of $2 million at September 30, 2025. The determination regarding valuation allowance was based on evidence of loss carryback capacity, projected future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences to absorb the deferred tax assets and assumptions made regarding future events.

Comerica Incorporated and Subsidiaries
In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation enters into certain transactions that have tax consequences. From time to time, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or other tax jurisdictions may review and/or challenge specific interpretive tax positions taken by the Corporation with respect to those transactions. The Corporation believes its tax returns were filed based upon applicable statutes, regulations and case law in effect at the time of the transactions. The IRS or other tax jurisdictions, an administrative authority or a court, if presented with the transactions, could disagree with the Corporation’s interpretation of the tax law.
Based on current knowledge and probability assessment of various potential outcomes, the Corporation believes that current tax reserves are adequate, and the amount of any potential incremental liability arising is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Probabilities and outcomes are reviewed as events unfold, and adjustments to the reserves are made when necessary.
NOTE 14 - CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Legal Proceedings and Regulatory Matters
The Corporation is subject to various pending or threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business or operations. Use of the term “Corporation” in this note should not be read to infer that Comerica, Incorporated or any of its subsidiaries that is not named in any legal or regulatory proceeding undertakes any responsibility or liability for any other affiliate that is actually named in any legal or regulatory proceeding. The Corporation believes it has meritorious defenses to the claims asserted against it in its currently outstanding legal proceedings and, with respect to such legal proceedings, intends to continue to defend itself vigorously, litigating or settling cases according to management’s judgment as to what is in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders. Settlement may result from the Corporation’s determination that it may be more prudent financially to settle, rather than litigate, and should not be regarded as an admission of liability.
Further, from time to time, the Corporation is also subject to examinations, inquiries and investigations by regulatory authorities in areas including, but not limited to, compliance, risk management and consumer protection, which could lead to administrative or legal proceedings or settlements. Remedies in resulting proceedings or settlements may include fines, penalties, restitution or alterations in the Corporation’s business practices and may result in increased operating expenses or decreased revenues.
On at least a quarterly basis, the Corporation assesses its potential liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal proceedings and regulatory matters utilizing the latest information available. On a case-by-case basis, accruals are established for those legal claims and regulatory matters for which it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving these claims and regulatory matters may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued. Based on current knowledge, and after consultation with legal counsel, management believes current accruals are adequate, and the amount of any incremental liability arising from these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
For matters where a loss is not probable, the Corporation has not established an accrual. The Corporation believes the estimate of the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of established accruals, for all legal proceedings and regulatory matters in which it is involved is from zero to approximately $26 million at September 30, 2025. This estimated aggregate range of reasonably possible losses is based upon currently available information for those legal proceedings and regulatory matters in which the Corporation is involved, taking into account the Corporation’s best estimate of such losses for those legal proceedings and regulatory matters for which such estimate can be made. For certain legal proceedings and regulatory matters, the Corporation does not believe that an estimate can currently be made. The Corporation’s estimate involves significant judgment, given the varying stages of the legal proceedings and regulatory matters (including the fact that many are currently in preliminary stages), the existence in certain legal proceedings of multiple defendants (including the Corporation) whose share of liability has yet to be determined, the numerous yet-unresolved issues in many of the legal proceedings and regulatory matters (including issues regarding class certification and the scope of many of the claims) and the attendant uncertainty of the various potential outcomes of such legal proceedings and regulatory matters. Accordingly, the Corporation’s estimate will change from time to time, and actual losses may be more or less than the current estimate.
In the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible the ultimate resolution of these matters, if unfavorable, may be material to the Corporation’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. For information regarding income tax contingencies, refer to Note 13.

NOTE 15 - STRATEGIC LINES OF BUSINESS
The Corporation has strategically aligned its operations into three major business segments: the Commercial Bank, the Retail Bank and Wealth Management. These business segments are differentiated based on the type of customer and the related products and services provided. In addition to the three major business segments, the Finance and Other categories include items not directly associated with the business segments. Business segment results are produced by the Corporation’s internal management accounting system. This system measures financial results based on the internal business unit structure of the Corporation. The performance of the business segments is not comparable with the Corporation’s consolidated results and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other financial institution. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities. The management accounting system assigns balance sheet and income statement items to each business segment using certain methodologies, which are regularly reviewed and refined. From time to time, the Corporation may make reclassifications among the segments to more appropriately reflect management’s current view of the segments, and methodologies may be modified as the management accounting system is enhanced and changes occur in the organizational structure and/or product lines. For comparability purposes, amounts in all periods are based on business unit structure and methodologies in effect at September 30, 2025.
For the Commercial Bank, Retail Bank and Wealth Management segments, the Corporation’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, uses both segment net interest income and segment net income (loss) to allocate resources predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process, which includes allocations of employees, property, financial and/or capital resources. The chief operating decision maker considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis for both profit measures when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to each segment. Additionally, segment net interest income is used to evaluate product pricing and lending terms for customer loans, while segment net income (loss) helps evaluate the performance for each segment and compensation of certain employees.
The following discussion provides information about the activities of each business segment. A discussion of the financial results and the factors impacting performance can be found in “Business Segments” in the “Strategic Lines of Business” section of the financial review.
The Commercial Bank meets the needs of small and middle market businesses, multinational corporations and governmental entities by offering various products and services including commercial loans and lines of credit, deposits, cash management, payment solutions, card services, capital market products, international trade finance and letters of credit.
